History
Despite its armour, the Ferret Scout Car was not designed to engage enemy heavy armour. Instead, it relied on its low silhouette, speed, and stealth to make contact with enemy units, some of which were performing similar reconnaissance tasks. Venturing into contested areas, the Ferret was crafted to detect enemy presence without engaging in offensive actions.
Their mission was to transmit real-time radio updates to headquarters, and if they moved beyond radio range, a second HQ Ferret would relay their messages back. They provided military planners with crucial information, and if discovered, the Ferret could swiftly remove the crew from any combat situation.
As long as they were only under threat from small arms fire, they had sufficient protection until the driver could manoeuvre them back to safer territory at speed.

- Assembled wingspan measures 237mm
- Captures the distinctive early P-40B short-nose design

History
In the initial phases of WWII, the American-manufactured Curtiss P-40B emerged as a crucial fighter aircraft for the Allied Air Forces. Operating with the RAF in North Africa and the American Volunteer Group in China, the Allison V-1710-33 powered P-40B became one of the most recognisable fighters of the war, adorned with its intimidating shark-mouth design.
The early P-40 models were perhaps the most visually striking, with their menacing silhouette - characterised by a shorter, pointed nose and the deep roar of the Allison V-1710 engine, the P-40B (known as Tomahawk IIa in RAF service) resembled airborne Great White sharks. In 1941, RAF No.112 Squadron of the Desert Air Force added menacing shark teeth and eyes to their aircraft, inadvertently transforming their Tomahawks into some of the most iconic and visually striking aircraft of WWII. This trend in aircraft decoration spread widely during the war, but it was the RAF Desert Air Force that initiated it.
